Alps melting: one degree warming hits nuclear cooling water

Original: ONE DEGREE CHANGED EVERYTHING! THE ALPS ARE MELTING — NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE RUNNING OUT OF WAT...

Reports highlight how roughly one degree of warming in the Alps is shrinking glaciers and reducing river flows, leaving nuclear power plants short of the cooling water they rely on. The story links alpine glacier retreat directly to energy security, warning that power stations may face output cuts as water levels keep dropping.

Why now: European heat and low river levels have renewed fears that nuclear plants could be forced to throttle output for lack of cooling water.
